Without seeing the error messages, it's very hard to tell what the problem is. Considering that you indicate a problem writing files, the problem *might* be: 1. You've read from a compressed volume and you're writing to an uncompressed one 2. The reverse of 1. 3. The NetWare ID you log on with to perform the restore lacks permission to write to the requested volume/directory. (Always use a top-level NetWare admin ID to perform restores.) It is almost certainly not a TSM client issuem. Both version 5.1 and 5.2 of the TSM NetWare client support NetWare 6; as long as your target box is running 5.1 or 5.2, you're good to go there... -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Berbee Information Networks Office 262.521.5627
